Our work has now converted all the closest spots to "Hybrid Only" parking. Since a) most people don't know what the hybrids are, b) I object that a 25 mpg hybrid SUV can park there when a 34 mpg Civic can't and c) I'm kinda lazy, I want to run and experiment. I'd like to throw a badge on my car and see how long I could get away with it before someone rats me out.
So that leads to the question, where can I get one? I checked ebay and crazedlist but no luck. Thoughts?

You could just park there and say it's a hybrid. I mean are they going to tow you because you don't have a badge on the car?

The door to the building is on the left and the signs you can't read say "Reserved for Hybrid Vehicles". This is the front of the building but they did the same thing in the parking garages too. Nevermind the fact that the motorcycle parking is all the way at the other end of the somewhat large parking garage, near none of the buildings. :x

Nice. I didn't want to try in person because that would be shady.
It's $16 plus another $14 for shipping though... I was hoping to spend like $5.

The's jacked. We don't have motorcycle spots at work, but security gave me the go ahead to park anywhere that wasn't in anybody's way because of the regular spot it saves. Ride yor bike, park it on the sidewalk next to the front door. Wait for somebody to say something; screw the hybrid badge.
... but another vote for a dealer counter. I'm sure they have them.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

My uncle had a "Hybrid Synergy Drive" sticker on his V8 200x Expedition as a joke, it was pretty funny. He has since gotten a 2008 Expedition.

Edit: Nevermind you found it ha

you've got to be fucking kidding me.
I used to root for AOL as kind of a local underdog. Fuck those clueless hippie retards.
My work has a park deck... and they stuck the motorcycles on the first sub level... as far away from the stairs and elevator as you can get... you have to walk around 3/4 of the parking deck to get to anything that will take you up one level.
so their motorcycle parking stays empty and we just take up full parking spaces. no biggie.

You could turn around when your done with the badge, and sell it to Mike. I'm sure he'd slap it on the show-kaa.
I work at a toyota dealer, I'll price one out real quick.

Best I can really do is around $31 for a hybrid synergy drive one, or $35 for one that just says hybrid.
Both are from a camry.

Mike calls my car a Camry so maybe that works. Still, I have this mental barrier of $20... sure you can't pry one off a vehicle or something? 
I really wonder if the security guards, who will place a notice on your car if it's not a hybrid, have a list of cars that actually are. So far all the hybrids I've seen are real hybrids but they can't possibly have a list, right?
The policy is annoying but it's 5:10 and I'm a wee bit buzzed on free AOL beer so I can't really complain.

try ford. the escape has a big HYBRID badge
I'll check the price on prius and highlander stuff tomorrow.
I'd pull one off of a new one, but...hybrids are selling like crazy now, so I hardly ever see them come through
